Intercourse before shortening the hair in 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I went to perform 'Umrah with my wife. He says: After performing the rites, I shaved my head and came out of the state of ihram. Then, after we returned to the hotel, I had intercourse with my wife. He says: But she remembered after the intercourse that she had not shortened her hair. He says: What is obligatory for us?

Answer:
It is obligatory for her to pay a fidyah (ransom payment). She should shorten her hair and slaughter a fidyah as compensation. Yes.
